Help Stamp Out Grapes [The Wizard of Id]

A short-lived Gold Medal Books series from 1978 to 1985, Help Stamp Out Grapes collects classic Wizard of Id newspaper strips by the legendary team of Johnny Hart and Brant Parker. Running only three issues, these slim volumes offer a concentrated dose of the strip's medieval absurdity, centered on the tyrannical, short-tempered king and his beleaguered subjects. It's a tidy, accessible sampler of one of the most beloved and long-running gag-a-day comic strips of the 20th century.
